   4. KMKurt Metzger0:13

      Good, man.

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:13

      Good to see you. It's fun to see you last night too.

   6. KMKurt Metzger0:16

      Wait, are we on yet?

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:17

      Yes.

   8. KMKurt Metzger0:17

      Oh, that's great that we opened up right on (laughs) -

   9. JRJoe Rogan0:20

      Right on you puffing? (laughs) Oh. Last night was fun.

   10. KMKurt Metzger0:25

       Oh my God-

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:25

       How funny was Attell, dude?

   12. KMKurt Metzger0:27

       I was remembering today that he said that, uh, Deliverance was his Barbie. (laughs)

   13. JRJoe Rogan0:33

       (laughs) He said so many asides like that. There were so many-

   14. KMKurt Metzger0:39

       Yeah.

   15. JRJoe Rogan0:39

       ... like, you know, Tony said something really funny, he said, "You, you watch him, you die laughing and then afterwards you can't remember anything he said."

   16. KMKurt Metzger0:47

       No, that's right and then I start to have recall, it's like I got abducted and then the memories come back.

   17. JRJoe Rogan0:52

       (laughs)

   18. KMKurt Metzger0:53

       So when I woke up I was laughing 'cause I remembered, he said (laughs) -

   19. JRJoe Rogan0:56

       He said-

   20. KMKurt Metzger0:57

       Well, about, he, he goes, "I need to get a root canal," but I, I couldn't get it 'cause, I couldn't get a root canal 'cause I was in Oklahoma, you know, every life is sacred. (laughs) He goes, "You ever have a back alley root canal?" (laughs)

   21. JRJoe Rogan1:08

       (laughs) He was just, everything about him was just so silly and so casual, it was very, very... And when he pulls out the recorder and starts playing that little flute thing.

   22. KMKurt Metzger1:18

       Yeah, he learned to do that over the pandemic.

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:21

       Ah.

   24. KMKurt Metzger1:21

       He learned to play recorder. (laughs)

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:25

       The fact that he uses a flip phone for real. I guess he has. You want some coffee?

   26. KMKurt Metzger1:29

       Yeah.

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:29

       I guess he has-

   28. KMKurt Metzger1:30

       I guess I should've asked.

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:30

       ... a, um, uh, iPhone that he uses for social media when he, i- if he ever needs to post.

   30. KMKurt Metzger1:36

       I always, I always wanna send him shit and I can't 'cause he's, I guess he's taking the calls on the flip phone.
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   Well, if they say-…

   1. KMKurt Metzger15:00

      camp and... To get this one guy. To get this one Hamas..." And Wolf's like, "Wait, you dro- blew up a fo-... There was 400, 500 p- people at that camp." And he goes, "Hey, that's why." And like, Wolf's face. (laughs) He's just like... "Are we gonna go to c-" Oh, wait, I forgot the best part. I don't want to say best part, but w- on Wolf's face. And you can see Wolf is like, "What in the fuck?" This is what I'm talking about. And he goes, uh, "Well, did you get the guy?" He goes, "Oh, wait a minute, we can't conf-" (laughs) They might have not even got the guy.

   2. JRJoe Rogan15:28

      Well, if they say-

   3. KMKurt Metzger15:29

      And Wolf goes-

   4. JRJoe Rogan15:29

      ... they can't confirm, they probably didn't get him.

   5. KMKurt Metzger15:31

      Of course. And Wolf... So Wolf knows that. So Wolf, he's like, "Uh, we have to go to a break." (laughs) That's the... That sticks with me.

   6. JRJoe Rogan15:39

      Oh, I need to watch that. I need to watch that.

   7. KMKurt Metzger15:41

      I, I, I... Yeah. I was trying to find it. I have the episo- the clip from Jimmy's show.

   8. JRJoe Rogan15:45

      So is this one of those ones that's gonna get us in trouble?

   9. NANarrator15:47

      I don't... I...

   10. JRJoe Rogan15:48

       Probably, right?

   11. NANarrator15:49

       No idea.

   12. KMKurt Metzger15:50

       Well, well-

   13. JRJoe Rogan15:51

       Well, let's play it just for us.

   14. NANarrator15:53

       I don't... I have to see if I can find it. I don't know where the... Is this it?

   15. KMKurt Metzger15:55

       Oh, yeah.

   16. NANarrator15:56

       By any chance, is this it?

   17. KMKurt Metzger15:57

       This is it. This is it.

   18. NANarrator15:58

       Okay.

   19. JRJoe Rogan15:59

       Okay. Let me hear it, Jimmy.

   20. NANarrator16:01

       Back now to our breaking news here in the Middle East. A massive explosion at the largest refugee camp in Gaza. Joining us now is Lieutenant Colonel Richard Hecht. He's the international spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces. Thanks so much for joining us. I, I wanna ask you first about this massive blast that we all just saw, we saw the video, at the Jabalia Refugee Camp in Gaza. Is there anything more you could, first of all, tell us about how this explosion happened?

   21. NANarrator16:30

       Hi. Well, thanks for having me. So we'll be coming out in the next, hopefully, hour with more data, but I can update you now that there's a very senior-

   22. JRJoe Rogan16:38

       Hold on. Pause. This is a Scottish Israeli dude? Like, what is this?

   23. KMKurt Metzger16:43

       Yeah. Possibly.

   24. JRJoe Rogan16:44

       That accent's crazy.

   25. KMKurt Metzger16:45

       Do you know Australian Israeli? (laughs)

   26. JRJoe Rogan16:46

       I know, but the accent with the flag, I'm like, my brain is going, "What's going on here?" This guy sounds like he's Scottish.

   27. KMKurt Metzger16:50

       I thought he had a cleft palate for a minute. (laughs)

   28. JRJoe Rogan16:53

       We've got bombs there. Okay, go ahead.

   29. NANarrator16:56

       Hamas commander in that area. Uh, sadly, he was hiding, again, as they do, behind the... Within civilians. And that's all I can see at this point. We're looking into it and we'll be coming out with more data as we learn what happened there.

   30. KMKurt Metzger17:11

       Oh, it is Scottish.
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   Yeah. …

   1. NANarrator30:00

      said they were an example of him calling for political violence-

   2. KMKurt Metzger30:03

      Yeah.

   3. NANarrator30:03

      Or predicting violent actions if he didn't win in November. His supporters said that those comments were taken out of context.

   4. NANarrator30:08

      I'd like to punch him in the face, I'll tell you.

   5. NANarrator30:10

      Trump has a history of using violent rhetoric dating back to his 2016 campaign. That language took on new significance after the January 6th attack on the Capitol in 2021. And throughout his third campaign for president, he's been getting a lot of attention for the way he talks about violence and retribution on the trail.

   6. KMKurt Metzger30:26

      (laughs)

   7. JRJoe Rogan30:26

      Exactly, see?

   8. NANarrator30:26

      He suggested that a general-

   9. JRJoe Rogan30:28

      So this is the New York Times.

   10. KMKurt Metzger30:29

       It's all falling apart.

   11. JRJoe Rogan30:30

       This is these hard-nosed reporters with their cup of coffee, that are like fucking chasing down leads and they're pulling their hair out. And they're, they're meeting people in back alleyways. This is Woodward and Bernstein.

   12. KMKurt Metzger30:42

       Do people think that still?

   13. JRJoe Rogan30:42

       This is Watergate (laughs) .

   14. KMKurt Metzger30:44

       Like, like-

   15. JRJoe Rogan30:44

       No. But I mean, they're, they're essentially like ultra hard-left activists that are masquerading as journalists, and everything has their opinion on it. Every front page article.

   16. KMKurt Metzger30:56

       They're also, they're also ... Yeah. They're also masquerading as activists. They're bourgeois twits.

   17. JRJoe Rogan30:59

       Yeah.

   18. KMKurt Metzger30:59

       They have a lifestyle brand, which is, "I'm a Sex in the City guy or gal, and I work in the paper."

   19. JRJoe Rogan31:04

       Uh-huh.

   20. KMKurt Metzger31:04

       They do the same amount of work as when you see those, "A Day In The Life Of Google."

   21. JRJoe Rogan31:08

       Yeah.

   22. KMKurt Metzger31:08

       "First, I go to the chair."

   23. JRJoe Rogan31:10

       It's Twitter. Yeah, that video.

   24. KMKurt Metzger31:11

       Yeah, whatever.

   25. JRJoe Rogan31:11

       That video is amazing.

   26. KMKurt Metzger31:12

       They ... Yeah, and they don't, they don't even make that ... Well, New York Times, that's the big time. So all the plum jobs, you know, like-... it's all, it's kind of similar to, uh, when people were mad that Seinfeld, they were, like, demanding, you know, why riding in, uh, car, to get coffee with Seinfeld in Cars isn't diverse enough.

   27. JRJoe Rogan31:29

       Yeah.

   28. KMKurt Metzger31:29

       And he goes, 'cause now, and Seinfeld, every time they bring these things up to him, I, I love his fucking response to that. But at a place like the New York Times, they have to go, "Oh, we need to bring these..." So all, all like, exact- how exactly you put it, the, you could guess what they look like. All of them have moved up from like the Gamergate, which at the time, I was an adult, and I was like, "I don't care about this." But they've all, were moving up in the world of media, 'cause where's the money coming from? You gotta hope you do well enough at, uh, making little smear articles on a shitty video game website to get picked for the big leagues, and some people did.

   29. JRJoe Rogan32:05

       Yeah.

   30. KMKurt Metzger32:05

       And they've been moving up, and then you re- like me, I like, I'm, "Oh my God, 20 years have passed," and then I see, like, that's that sh- little twerp, like if, uh, the, the one that got shame-fired actually went somewhere in life. If I found, like, there's people like him that work with the DHS-
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   Yeah, right. Well, biological…

   1. JRJoe Rogan45:00

      world. It had never been done.

   2. KMKurt Metzger45:02

      Yeah, right. Well, biological women have never had dicks before, but it's a world of miracles now.

   3. JRJoe Rogan45:05

      (laughs)

   4. KMKurt Metzger45:06

      Now we live in a world where anything is possible.

   5. JRJoe Rogan45:09

      Uh, yeah.

   6. KMKurt Metzger45:09

      Better, easier to clean women.

   7. JRJoe Rogan45:11

      Did you see that, those, the, the bike rider say, "Well, I don't know who, why you could say I'm not a biological woman. Uh, I'm a woman and I'm biological. So it's, it's on my passport, it says I'm a female." Like-

   8. KMKurt Metzger45:24

      That's a good...

   9. JRJoe Rogan45:24

      No, no, no, no, no.

   10. KMKurt Metzger45:25

       Oh, you-

   11. JRJoe Rogan45:26

       No, you're a guy.

   12. KMKurt Metzger45:27

       Touche, touche, sir.

   13. JRJoe Rogan45:28

       Yeah.

   14. KMKurt Metzger45:28

       I'm biological and I'm a woman.

   15. JRJoe Rogan45:30

       (laughs) That's great. It's so dumb and then whoever-

   16. KMKurt Metzger45:33

       I support it.

   17. JRJoe Rogan45:33

       I think it's Trevor Noah lets him get away with it.

   18. KMKurt Metzger45:36

       Trev-

   19. JRJoe Rogan45:36

       But whoever the fuck it is, it's one of those guys, is it Ju- one of the late night guys. It might not have been Trevor Noah.

   20. KMKurt Metzger45:41

       It could be any of them.

   21. JRJoe Rogan45:41

       It might've been Jimmy Kimmel or, uh, no, no, it wasn't Jimmy.

   22. KMKurt Metzger45:44

       Interchangeable.

   23. JRJoe Rogan45:44

       Wasn't, maybe it had been Jimmy Fallon. Either way. No, Seth?

   24. KMKurt Metzger45:48

       (laughs)

   25. JRJoe Rogan45:48

       (laughs) God, you know your fucking list of, of-

   26. KMKurt Metzger45:50

       Boy, you know-

   27. JRJoe Rogan45:51

       I think it was Seth. I think it was Seth. But either way-

   28. KMKurt Metzger45:53

       Yeah.

   29. JRJoe Rogan45:53

       No, you're not.

   30. KMKurt Metzger45:55

       (laughs)
5. 1:00:00 – 1:08:57

   Yeah. …

   1. JRJoe Rogan1:00:00

      If you're getting involved with a woman and you've r- you're really into her and she's really cool, and let's say you make 150 grand a year. You're doing great. You're out there, and you find out this lady is like $90,000 in debt to the IRS.

   2. KMKurt Metzger1:00:13

      Yeah.

   3. JRJoe Rogan1:00:13

      Like, what?

   4. KMKurt Metzger1:00:14

      Yeah.

   5. JRJoe Rogan1:00:14

      And you're thinking about getting married. You're like, (sighs) do I take that on?

   6. KMKurt Metzger1:00:18

      Hey-

   7. JRJoe Rogan1:00:18

      Why are you o- Why are you so in debt? What the fuck?

   8. KMKurt Metzger1:00:21

      It's... I feel like it's a scam, like I got played if, if I found out some shit like that. I don't think I should have to tell a woman that I'm married.

   9. NANarrator1:00:28

      (laughs)

   10. JRJoe Rogan1:00:29

       But if you're a guy and you find out that this person that you're falling in love, you're thinking about having a family with and, God, she's so cool, and then you hear, "Oh, you have a dick?"

   11. KMKurt Metzger1:00:41

       (laughs)

   12. JRJoe Rogan1:00:41

       That seems like you should tell people that.

   13. KMKurt Metzger1:00:43

       Yeah. Well, J. Springer tried to handle those disputes back in the day.

   14. JRJoe Rogan1:00:47

       My favorite one is there's this trans guy with a hijab on-

   15. KMKurt Metzger1:00:52

       (laughs) Yes.

   16. NANarrator1:00:52

       (laughs)

   17. JRJoe Rogan1:00:52

       ... and he says, uh-

   18. KMKurt Metzger1:00:53

       Yeah.

   19. JRJoe Rogan1:00:53

       ... "People are saying, why are you cosplaying? I am not cosplaying. Cosplaying is when you're pretending to be something you are not. I am a Muslim woman. That's why I am wearing the traditional Muslim..." And then there's this, like, lady, this Middle Eastern lady goes, "I will pay for a one trip round, first (laughs) class ticket for you to go there. You won't need round trip because you're not coming back."

   20. KMKurt Metzger1:01:15

       Oh, I remember that. Yeah.

   21. JRJoe Rogan1:01:15

       Yeah. What are you talking about?

   22. KMKurt Metzger1:01:16

       Well, you know what it is? It's like you should have gone with more burka, dude. Put a full burka, 'cause-

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:01:22

       Right, cover the whole deal.

   24. KMKurt Metzger1:01:23

       ... 'cause that's like an elegant, wearable pronoun with no surgery, with a full deal.

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:01:28

       Yeah.

   26. KMKurt Metzger1:01:28

       And they're like, "Oh, that's a woman." And you're like, "Oh, does she have a dick?" "I don't know, I'm not her husband."

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:01:31

       Either way, at the end of the day, you're flying off a fucking roof. (laughs) Like-

   28. KMKurt Metzger1:01:35

       Um-

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:01:36

       Like, this, this is, this thing, this is a game that you can only play in America. You try playing that in these countries that you suppo- "You support Hamas? Do you really? Okay." "Yeah, we support Hamas." Go over there.

   30. KMKurt Metzger1:01:49

       You saw Bruno?
